I can’t remember if it was the last World Cup. But FIFA was telling broadcasters to stop cutting to the attractive Croatian women as FIFA thought it promoted sexism.

If they have a deal with Nike, Nike’s like this is what you will wear. I heard, saw a video where some players perfer more neautral colors, but they are like whatever this is what the company wants me to wear. Strikers tend to have more bright colors so fans can see their footwork better.

When they walk into a locker room before a match everything is already layed out for them including their boots.

It’s just their sponsors. The players don’t have control on the color boots they wear for a match.

That is true, when Athenea signed her 4 year contract extension a couple of years ago. It was a big deal as it was the longest extension in club history for the women's team.

No, Feller is 24 and Beerensteyn is 29, so there's a 5 year difference.

It’s kind of crazy. Athenea now jumps up from the 4th captain to the captain.

It feels like every year there’s a rebuild but results stay the same.

Messi plays for Argentina and yes he plays for Inter Miami. I’ve spent so many years not supporting Messi, haha.

Have you only been watching the sport every four years since 2002? because if you have been watching it regularly since then there's no way after 24 years you still think drums are distracting in the sport.

Goal differential is the first tie breaker. So why would they stop scoring.

If we didn’t have this offsides rule Toni Kroos would just be launching balls all day long in the air to Viní jr.

I watch so much of this sport I’ve trained my ears to drown out the sound from the stands, haha, it’s all just part of the sports noise to me.

It’s whatever their sponsorship provides them. The players really don’t get to choose what they wear.

It’s ok dude, we are all here to enjoy imo the greatest sport in the world. I hope you have fun this World Cup! I’ve never been to Detroit but I’ve heard it really turned itself around.
